Obviously not happy with his planning application for a 3m high wall surrounding his property being turned down....man lets Cypress Leyland trees grow 35ft instead!

Makes you wonder what's going on inside if he wants to protect his privacy that much!

Probably a one finger salute to neighbours who objected.

I can kinda see his point if it is.

Although 3m fencing is 1m above what is generally acceptable under most by-laws.

It looks ludicrous and it must be pitch black in that house. Anyone have pics of his wall?

I wouldn't mind that much, I'd take an axe to it.

"that the height of the high hedge specified in the complaint is adversely affecting the complainant’s reasonable enjoyment of the domestic property so specified".

Job done surely. But it costs about £300 to make the complaint.

I can see why its annoying but the neighbour is called Roger. The bloke opposite in the piece is called Roger. Stereotypes ahoy, but i bet they're both nosey tts who drive burgundy Rover 75's and who think the height of relaxtion is 'a good bitter down at The Red Lion of an afternoon whilst they complain bitterly to each other about 'David with the trees'.

Fine, as long as he's prepared to pay for any damage the trees do to anyone elses property, including the road and pipes!

I too am an insufferable ct and held this view when I set up a nuclear disposal dump in my back garden, what business of anyone else's is it, its my property and I can do with it as I like. Not my problem if the neighbours kids get cancer, they can just move if they don't like it?!

Except as you know full well the roots will be doing considerable damage to the neighbours foundations and underground services.

If he owned a plot far enough away from others for it to affect only him I'd agree with you but he doesn't.

FFS, that whole paragraph was sensationalist, over egged, emotional twaddle . Except maybe this bit...

You might care if you lived next door and wanted to sell your house.
